Training for Developers
With the only pre-requisite to be (semi-) fluent in Python, the AI Yellow Belt introduces coders to the basics of AI :
- understand a culture of "data", the basic ingredient of all algorithms,
- intro to stats, NumPy library,
- supervised machine learning (ML) with Scikit-Learn,
- how to tune your parameters,
- how to evaluate the quality of your model on new data.

Training for Business Managers
This brings a thorough overview of AI to allow managers, C-level or team leaders, to understand the business implications of AI and Machine Learning.
You will be able to :
- understand what AI can / cannot do,
- identify problems within the company that can benefit from AI,
- establish an "AI roadmap",
- evaluate the AI skills needed (internal & contractors).

Green, Blue, Brown, Black
These belts will bring people progressively to a specialized master level of artificial intelligence until the AI Black Belt, the ultimate level of expertise.
A progressive program, for managers and developers
Easiest way to get into AI | hands-on | practical | validated
Progressive, from beginner to mastery
AI may seem intimidating. We've split the path to mastery as a succession of "belts", much like martial arts.
AI White Belt is the most introductory level: accessible to anyone, in 2 hours, it includes short quizzes on your mobile and makes you a member of the community.
AI Yellow Belt for developers and AI Orange Belt for business managers cover the bases of artificial intelligence in 4 half-days.
AI Green, Blue and Brown Belts cover in-depth the bases of machine learning and deep learning. These advanced AI Belts require an increasing level of difficulty and engagement leading you progressively to the AI Black Belt, truly a level of mastery.
Practical, real use cases
It will be hands-on! We will make it easy, by using code running in an open-source environment (Jupyter notebooks)
Even in the AI Orange Belt, designed for managers (non-coders), you will get to see the actual code running, be able to change parameters, and understand in some technical detail, really how AI works under the hood. You will learn a lot from interacting with your peers.
Finally, you will be exposed to real-world examples from practitioners such as Jetpack.ai, Sagacify, Radix.ai, etc.
Vendor-neutral, yet vendor-enabled.
Most of the environments and tools that we use are open source, to offer the most freedom. However, we intend also to enable learners to work with industry-standard environments in the cloud. There will be special sessions where learners will have a chance to experiment with the AI environments of major providers:
- Google Cloud
- Amazon AWS
- Microsoft Azure
- IBM Watson
This will make sure that their skills are in sync with market expectations and geared towards production environments.
A community of learners
Once you start your journey with the AI White Belt, you will be part of the community of learners with a close relationship to our trainers, program designers, and practitioners, true AI experts in the field: Gilles Louppe (ULiège), Kevin Françoisse (Sagacify), Gregory Renard (xBrain), Gautier Krings (Jetpack.ai), and many others.
Because AI Black Belt relies very much on peer-learning, learners are expected to be open, and even to contribute to the community. For example, AI Green Belts are expected to mentor AI Yellow Belts, etc.
All participants who graduate will receive an AI certificate and will be part of the AI Black Belt Community.
In addition to the classroom experience, there will be online resources (code repository, vidéos, playbook,...)
